ARMOR ENHANCE DOES NOT REMOVE SPEED CAP OF ARMOR MODE

Post » Wed Aug 03, 2011 11:43 pm

see above.
normal sprinting speed: 100%
with armor sprinting speed: 80%
with ARMOR ENHANE 2 sprinting speed 95%
can someone who does not have adjusted FoV test that too? is the movement speed the same without armor and with armor (armor enhance)?

Well, isn't 15 percent more than enough? And it isn't like you are going to use Armor Mode on with extended periods of time anyway.

Yeah I noticed this. It was part of the armour enhance rebalance. They improved it by decreasing the drain that occurs during armour mode, which was a plus, but decreased the movement speed bonus.

Yay!

I am quite annoyed at it personally, I want armour to be better, would have liked its mobility to remain the same.

i discovered armor enhance a few weeks ago and started using it very badly, its really usefull if you dont need to get close like a shotgunner (cloak).
im currently using on my armor-class:
armor enhance lv 2
visor enhance lv 2 (i dont need stealth enhance because i nearly never enter it with this class and there is no other VERY useful stealth perk so i choosed this; to make enemys better visible i dont use a reflex sight, ironsight is good for that job)
weapon pro (i first used retriever and i wanted to keep it but it resets allmost every time and so i choose another perk, and because im using an FY71 i dont need aim enhance because its recoil is ok so i thought fast reloads and faster looking down sights would be nice because i need a fast reaction in armor, its still not a godmode :P)
what do you think about it?

With heavier weapons like the MK60 the 5% speed difference is unnoticeable

It feels more than 5% though, it feels more like 10%. Though you are correct, it isn't as noticeable with the MK60.

When using Armour Enhance I just activate it while sprinting, since the speed isn't that much slower it's not very noticeable, and plus you're better protected. AND it uses LESS energy than sprinting without armour! When you need to slide, just press q, c, q. :)
